Chapter 8: Q. 58 (page 202)

Elm Street has a pronounced dip at the bottom of a steep hill before going back uphill on the other side. Your science teacher has asked everyone in the class to measure the radius of curvature of the dip. Some of your classmates are using surveying equipment, but you decide to base your measurement on what you鈥檝e learned in physics. To do so, you sit on a spring scale, drive through the dip at different speeds, and for each speed record the scale鈥檚 reading as you pass through the bottom of the dip. Your data are as follows:

Speed m/sec

Scale Reading N

Explanation

Lets draw the free body diagram as below

The figure shows forces in a circular motion,
T= tension, Centripetal force = mv2/r and gravitational force = mg .

Consider the bottom point

TBottom=mv2r+mg

When v=0 we have T=mg=588 N .

We can find mass

m=588N9.81m/s2=60kg

The equation become

T=(60kgv2r)+588N

The equation y=- mx +C

Where C=588 N and m=60/r

lets draw the graph with given data

Here , from the graph we can get

60r=0.4

This means r = 150 m.

Mass m1on the frictionless table of FIGURE EX8.13 is connected by a string through a hole in the table to a hanging mass m2. With what speed must m1 rotate in a circle of radius rif m2is to remain hanging at rest?

FIGURE EX8.13

While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find the motion somewhat unpleasant. To take your mind off your stomach, you wonder about the motion of the ride. You estimate the radius of the big wheel to be 15m, and you use your watch to find that each loop around takes 25s.

a. What are your speed and the magnitude of your acceleration?

b. What is the ratio of your weight at the top of the ride to your weight while standing on the ground?

c. What is the ratio of your weight at the bottom of the ride to your weight while standing on the ground?

A 200g block on a 50-cm-long string swings in a circle on a horizontal, frictionless table at 75rpm.

a. What is the speed of the block?

b. What is the tension in the string?

In uniform circular motion, which of the following are constant: speed, velocity, angular velocity, centripetal acceleration, magnitude of the net force?

In an amusement park ride called The Roundup, passengers stand inside a 16-m-diameter rotating ring. After the ring has acquired sufficient speed, it tilts into a vertical plane, as shown in FIGURE P8.51.
a. Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.5 s. If a rider鈥檚 mass is 55 kg, with how much force does the ring push on her at the top of the ride? At the bottom?
b. What is the longest rotation period of the wheel that will prevent the riders from falling off at the top?
